Winston Medical Center in Louisville, Miss. has a new $55,000,000 facility three years after a tornado destroyed the 60-year-old former hospital, according to an article on the PR Newswire website.

The only hospital within a 30-mile radius opened after the staff worked out of MASH tents for 11 months, then moved into mobile trailers.
